The following timely remarks are
from the.pen of the Rev. DR.. McAnal-
", of the St.Louis Christian AdUocdtc:
We once heard of a young man ap-
piying to the proper authorities OF a
church for license to preach. OF course
some preliminary questions were asked
him and the fact was soon developed
that he was unable to read. With as
constituent, pity and disgust the exam
liner asked, "How do you expect to
it?' "Oh," he replied, "mammy reads
and I splains and spounds."
Now we would like for some one to
explain why it is that revival meetings
are held by evangelists and others, and
conversions reported by scores and
sometimes by hundreds, and few
months after SO few of these converts
are found? Ask the regular pastors OF
the churches how many of these con-
verts are found faithful in the churches
twelve months afterwards and you will
be astonished by their answers.
Whatever may be the cause of the
defections alluded to, it is undeniable
that there is somewhere great wrong
in others besides the "converts." This
much is plain. and those intrusted with
the care of the church should look care
fully into the matter. It is too serious
to be passed over lightly. 1t is ques'
ton fraught with incalcuable good OIL
evil.
Again: Why is it that so many Of
these evangelists must each have their
own hymnals? Are the sound theOlog-
ical hymns the Christian church has
used for centuries too stale for them?
We have examined a number of these
I'little song BOOKS" and while they
have few sound hymns to act as a
kind of salt to save the mass from pu-
trefaction, they have many of diff-r-
ent character. And such songs! Well,
If they think them superior to the large
class of church hymns that have been
in general use, then they may take
refuge under the first part of the 9th
verse of the 10th Psalm.
And the music! But stop. Some of
it is very good. and the rest, which is
the larger part, might answer for a
circus for aught we know, but it will
never improve the religious element of
our nature.

The recent controversy over the war
flags has caused many inquiries as to
the disposition of naval flags captlred
during the rebellion. 1t Is learned at
the Navy Department that most of the
flags captured were turned over to the
Naval Academy at Annapolis, and are
on exhibition in the museum with flags
of other wars. 1t Is also said that some
of the captured flags were destroyed by
accidental fire in the old Navy Depart
ment building several years ago. The
Confederate flags were few in number.
